Puppy 2.14 Need to Set Dialer to Pulse Dial
I have searched the forums but couldn't find anything on this. Please help me if you can.
I am a complete beginner in Linux but am highly impressed with the way Puppy runs on my grandfather's Celeron with 64 Mb of memory
I need to setup the dialer to use pulse rather than tone dialing. Hard to believe but the system here in Japan is pulse. The PCI modem was detected and dials fine in tone but I can't find a way to change it to pulse.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the response The modem works fine in pulse with Windows 98. In Windows there are radio buttons to set the dial type.
Perhaps I was not clear. What I need to know is how to initialise the modem in Puppy to pulse dial rather than tone dial. I saw something about the iniialisation string which I suppose I would need to edit.
Anyway, I couldn't find any way in Puppy to make the same change.

Neither have I but he doesn't want pay for broadband and I just need a way to check email etc when we are staying at his place.

You can change the dial string, not the initialization string from ATDT to ATDP. I just tried it with KPPP dialer and it dialed out with pulse. Trivial with the KPPP dialer, just go to modem section, click modem commands and go down list to the dial string and change it and click ok couple times. I would have to investigate to change this in other dialers.
There is a KPPP dotpup package for Puppy independent of KDE. Its a little annoying with error messages generated cause it cant find its KDE stuff but it works fine otherwise.

Wow Mouldy. Thanks very much!
Please see the post below. Apologies for my slowness.
I can't play around with Puppy at present because I can't get Puppy to run on my newish computers . I will have to wait until next I go to GFs place.

Just find and click on the file in ROX and it will open in geany or whatever text editor you have set as default. Geany is default in the version of 2.14 I am using and should be in yours unless you set another editor as default.
I have never figured out why, but different dialers work better sometimes with different computers, different modems, and different versions of Puppy. I used to use gkdial all time, but two computers I use regularly now, one likes wvdial best and one likes KPPP. If you ever have troubles with one dialer just try another.
